Matthew 13:29
It is very important for us to remember in ministry that it is our job to plant, not to pull weeds. Many have supposed it their calling to root out the trouble makers, and thus to help the crop. On the contrary, we are called to plant and water, while God himself cares for the increase. Though we should stand firm in the faith, we are not to target those that we feel we have identified as tares. Almighty God may, as he did with the Apostle Paul, yet use them for a great work.
